Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.

That's why GrapheneOS had this feature for a long time, but with the ability to disable it. It also allows you to set the time period after which the reboot is initiated yourself. You can go as low as 10 minutes, or as high as 72 hours.

People were using old hardware instead of buying new.

Can't have that.

I hope there will be a way to turn that off, but I'm afraid there won't.

On the 9to5Google article it says

Update 4/16: Google has updated the changelog entry to add that auto-reboot is “optional” when it comes in the “future.” This addresses some concern from people who run continuous Android devices, with tablets somewhat fitting into that.

Website: Skynet is dooming the world tomorrow!

Website: Update: You can just tell it not to doom the world if you don't want it. Nothing more to see here. Move on.

Typical.

The old one isn't getting any updates and won't see this change.

The shiny one you have will be old in a few years

You dont install updates on your servers?

I had this problem when Apple introduced this feature a year or so ago. I wish Apple had a way to disable it, but such is apple. Now I unlock a phone that lives on my dresser every few days.
